You're combining three versions of Proxmox: PVE 6 based on Debian 10 buster, PVE 7 based on Debian 11 bullseye and PVE 8 based on Debian 12 bookworm.
This also shows in the pveversion where the kernel is from PVE 7.3 and the web GUI is from PVE 6.2.
This is a mess. Maybe reinstalling a clean version of Proxmox VE 8 and restore your VMs/CTs from backup is the easiest solution?

I managed to solve almost all errors. I still have a problem. python-cephfs is stuck on ver 12.2.11 and I cannot upgrade it

here is the output

#apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
python-cephfs/stable 14.2.22-pve1 amd64 [upgradable from: 12.2.11+dfsg1-2.1+deb10u1]
N: There are 20 additional versions. Please use the '-a' switch to see them.

when I try to update it I got this error

apt upgrade python-cephfs

Your reply just vanished, but did you add the Ceph repository: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_ceph_quincy_no_subscription_repository ?

 

[Dindio]

I managed to install it from GUI. Maybe was a repository problem like leesteken said. Thanks!
